turbo-folk
Turbo-folk () is a subgenre of contemporary South Slavic pop music that initially developed in Serbia during the 1990s as a fusion of techno and folk. The term "turbo-folk" was coined by Montenegrin singer Rambo Amadeus, who jokingly used it to describe an aggressive, satirical style of music. While primarily associated with Serbia, this genre is also popular in other former Yugoslav nations, particularly Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

==Croatia== Turbo-folk grew in Croatia in part due to the popularity of the Croatian singer Severina's style of fusion music. Turbo-folk is purportedly seen as a "part of everyday life in Croatia and serves a means of social release and reaction to the effects of globalisation in Croatia" according to contemporary art professor Urosh Cvoro of UNSW Sydney.
